Sex Machine Gun Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) They've been really good at keeping this shit under wraps. I hope it's someone from Khan's OSW boy stable instead of a massive name just for how hard I'd laugh. It'd be terrible after five seconds but those five seconds would be tremendous. "Welcome to AEW... (drumroll) JUSTIN CREDIBLE!" Quote There Is nothing wrong with Riho's size. If you bought Rey Mysterio Jr. all of these years, you can give Riho a pass. I wouldn't mind her tiny stature if she was jacked at all but she doesn't look like she could really fight anyone. I want to believe but it's a big stretch whenever I watch her. At least Rey had some muscle even in his pre-WWE days. Edited March 7, 2021 by Sex Machine Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) With the key word in the tweet being "worthy," I don't think it is anyone who is in any HoF yet (but dammit, he/ she should be..) and I don't think that the person who signed will be the sixth man in the ladder match.

I want to believe but it's a big stretch whenever I watch her. At least Rey had some muscle even in his pre-WWE days. But she does most of the things that a tiny girl should do when facing larger opponents. She uses calf kicks and legwork to break down the base of her foes so that they are more susceptible to her aerial attacks and pinning predicaments. Her strikes are a bit suspect, but she does employ a lot of science to win matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a size thing, I think its that her physics are too floaty. Sort of like RVD. Combine that with her size and I do tend to agree.

I respect your opinion, but IMO anyone who bumps like that is not frail. Anyone who bought Spike Dudley, should buy Riho. I will concede that she should probably get rid of the frilly white and pink ring attire because it gives off the subliminal message that she is delicate.

HumanChessgame Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's about relative size with Riho. Most of the other women in the division might have 30-40 pounds on here so that's not a huge differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sex Machine Gun Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I didn't buy Spike in actual matches on his own. To be fair, I've never watched his matches with Mike Awesome so maybe those are good. In ECW he was already tiny, going to the WWF made him look positively miniature or like he was an oddly dressed fan who got lost in the arena and somehow found the entranceway for the wrestlers.

I hate that people throw this comparison out as a justification for every small person. I saw Rey Mysterio bench 315 when I was in HS in the early 00’s. He’s short but he was jacked and strong asf.

Casey Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Since the Buy-In is starting: Reba/Rebel has a doctor's note and can't compete, so Britt Baker has requested a new partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hate people whose suspension of disbelief is not uniform, so I guess we are even. It's pro wrestling. AEW is partnered with DDT. DDT put a championship belt on a ladder FFS, and the ladder even had a retirement ceremony. It was the best thing ever. It annoys me when people can buy into gimmicks like Bray Wyatt being possessed by a demon or the Question Mark being the master of a martial art that doesn't exist which originated from a nation that doesn't exist, but have problems with the math of a small girl beating a larger woman.

I actually don’t mind Riho. The size difference between her and most women isn’t that significant and she’s usually able to get the crowd behind her. I just hate that people act like Rey Mysterio wasn’t jacked and really strong, so they can justify short wrestlers with sleight builds. The Question Mark was a comedy character that didn’t actually dominate with his fake martial art. I don’t watch the WWE anymore, so I can’t comment on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKothoga Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Seems like Darby Allin and whoever booked the street fight didn’t pay attention in film studies when Chekhov's gun was discussed. If you talk about people being thrown out of a window down several floors you have to throw people out of a window down several floors. And I love the birds eye view camera from above the ring. And AEW has to stop adding more wrestlers. And, oh man, the ending. So great with Kingston coming down to protect Moxley and then what an underwhelming “explosion” to end the show. Yikes. Cody's usual pyro would have been more effective. Edited March 8, 2021 by MrKothoga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
